MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –
Steve Jobs had multiple cars, but he didn’t put licence plates on them, and it was perfectly legal.
There was a loophole in California law that gave owners a six month grace period before they had to get a license plate
Exploiting the loophole, Steve Jobs would lease multiple cars, all of them identical, every six months
When it would come time for him to get a license plate, he’d just get a brand new car
This particular loophole is in the process of being closed by new legislation
MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
